Cohiba Silgo II and III

[tylernim]

Have an opportunity to pick up either or in a trade. Just a handful.

Was looking for some opinions, especially on the III.

Any idea on age of these sticks?

 

[tylernim]

No, unfortunately not. Any comments on production years are welcome.

Have a box of II's from late '10 and they are smoking great....haven't had too many of the III's, so can't really comment there.

sig 3s = dopness... possibly my favorite cohiba, (although i'm not the biggest cohiba fan) most recent ones i've had were 08s and they were very nice.

You just have to go with your preferred vitola. The Siglo line are similar but obviously can have some differences because of ring gauge. Sig 2 & 3 are pretty similar but you have a much more expensive 3 because of the length. Without knowing the years and pricing, can't really help you.

Generally speaking, Cohiba needs more age to really shine compared to other marcas. I think 08's are outstanding for Cohiba and some of the recent 12's have really looked great.

The Sig IIs ROTT have been pretty dang outstanding, specially if you like the hay 'barnyard' aspect, about the first 3rd it's really strong then tapers off into more subtle Cohib attributes, they are also very well made and have a nice even slow burn to them.

I'm a newb so take it with a grain of salt, I don't know everything I like, but I know what I don't like.

I too cannot comment on the IIIs but the IIs are awesome...I'm a big fan of the Siglo series.

I smoke a lot of Sig II and IV. 2009 and older are fantastic. Like the VI also but none I have are ready to smoke. Have smoked a few fresh Sig I that show great potential.

Can't go wrong on either one

Currently enjoying 08 Siglo Vs and CEs- so far my favorite Cohibas. I have a box of 08 IIIs waiting. I've yet to smoke one. I find Cohibas really need a few years to shine. I've smoked a few IIs & while good, I'll take a box of BPCs & keep the change.

The IIIs and Vs are the Siglos that I've never had. But I agree with others that the Siglo line are all pretty similar to each other, though of course ring gauge makes a difference, and smoking times vary a lot.

I love the Is, IIs, and VIs. Iv'e only had 3 IVs, but they've been pretty "meh" to me, probably too young.

The recent production has been outstanding
